My wish to go from internet to RF was due to my desire to make use of the APRS text messaging functions of my VX-8E. However the unreliability of messaging, the cost and trouble of setting up a gateway running 24/7 and the hassle of needing an NoV mean that I have more or less lost interest in it. I guess I'll just use my mobile phone for text messaging like everyone else and turn on my Rx-only gateway just when I want to do some tracking.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11984840704237681015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-953397841255562532.post-23064067399621329732009-09-14T14:03:06.029+01:002009-09-14T14:03:06.029+01:00It depends waht you want to d, Julian.

If you want to digi RF, then an NoV is the letter of the law, but clearly most people on APRS in the UK are either by their radios 24/7 or just do it anyway with sensible precations to stop PTT lockup. To gate Rf to the web alone doesn;t need an NoV, just an RX. That alone can be useful....Steve Buntinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03446514485502637558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-953397841255562532.post-53499171162412039132009-09-09T16:04:52.401+01:002009-09-09T16:04:52.401+01:00Julian,

You could give the phone number and instructions to 3 licenced amateurs.<br /><br />http://www.pantek.fr/telecharge%5CGSM-RELE2%20leaflet%20_V03-EN_.pdf<br /><br />MadsMadshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16032832963059659553noreply@blogger.com
